Gordon Ramsay sued by new show

June 20th, 2007 | Category: Food Home DIY

But it’s not the new season of Hell’s Kitchen. It’s actually a show that hasn’t premiered yet.

The former general manager of Dillon’s Restaurant in Manhattan has filed a lawsuit to block the airing of Kitchen Nightmares, the new Ramsay show that is supposed to premiere that September on FOX. The man says that he was fired from the restaurant on orders from Ramsay, and that

Ramsay actually lied about finding rotten food and actually hired actors to pose as customers so the place would look busier than it usually is. The show has Ramsay coming into various restaurants to manufacture them better.

This could be interesting, considering many fans of Hell’s Kitchen often wonder whether the customers are plants or whether the problems the chefs experience in the kitchen are fabricated or exaggerated.
